Description
When your Ford 2000 series tractor starts burning oil, losing power, or that telltale blue smoke follows you around the field, it's time for more than just changing the oil. Nothing's more frustrating than an engine that takes forever to warm up on a cold morning, or one that never quite reaches proper operating temperature. If you've noticed poor fuel economy, white smoke that won't clear, or oil that looks like chocolate milk, your 3-cylinder diesel needs some serious attention. This basic overhaul kit gives you the essential parts to breathe new life into that reliable old Ford.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons with .020" oversized rings for better compression and reduced oil consumption
- Complete gasket set that seals everything from head to oil pan
- Pin bushings to eliminate connecting rod knock and restore proper piston movement
- Everything needed for a solid basic rebuild without breaking the bank
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for Ford 2000 series tractors from 1965-1975 with the 158 cubic inch, 3-cylinder diesel engine. These were the workhorses of medium-sized farms—tough enough for field work but nimble enough for barnyard chores. Whether your 2000 is running a brush hog, pulling a hay rake, or working around the farmstead, this engine needs to run strong and dependable.
Made to Last
Tru Power Engine Kit components are built to handle the demands of agricultural work. The pistons and rings are designed for diesel service, while the gasket set uses quality materials that seal properly and stay sealed through temperature changes and vibration.
Installation Notes
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your cylinders bored if they're out of round or scored. The .020" oversize pistons give you room to clean up minor cylinder wear. If you're doing the work yourself, take your time with the gasket surfaces—a good cleaning job here prevents comebacks later.
